A very pretty race occurred between the steam yachts Oneida, of Brockville, and R.P. Flower, of Alexandria Bay, on Sunday morning while crossing from the latter place to Rockport. It was about "nip and tuck" the whole distance.

The Canadian propeller Prussia was inspected at Chicago by the special inspectors. She was found "all O.K." She is allowed sixty-five pounds of steam and is allowed to carry fifty-seven passengers. The Canadian propeller Alma Munro gets no certificate to carry passengers. She is not equipped for the passenger traffic. In the freight business she is all right.
